- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 very good catch at cover point!! It's Jarvis there, who has left Stirling stunned. Jarvis stretched both his hands out to his right, and grabbed a ball which looked set to fly past him. Stirling looked to attack Boult by making room and skipping down the pitch at this short-of-a-length ball, and punched aerially - only to fall early 18/119.6 reverse swinging yorker does him in the end. Tector walks at this and is in no position to hit out once the ball started moving into him. All he can do is try and keep it out but it's not possible 150/511.3 lovely catch on the midwicket boundary. Delany there, edging towards the rope, focus on the ball, leaps up, collects it, then realises his momentum is taking him over the rope, so he pops the ball up, goes off the field, comes back and completes the take. Very very hittable ball. Lobbed up generously outside off stump, Conway saw the room on offer, went for the slog sweep but clearly didn't get enough distance 81/212.6 bowled him. Maxwell's given himself too much room. The ball pitches middle and skids through low. Maxwell hacks at it. He's beaten on the under edge 95/314.4 brilliant catch at short third. JJ Smuts moving to his right, diving, getting two hands to the ball even as it threatens to leave him behind. Into the wicket slower ball. Tucker clocks it. Tries to thrash it into the gap. Almost makes it if not for that wonderful effort 105/4Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Paul Stirling, 2.6 ov), 2-81 (Devon Conway, 11.3 ov), 3-95 (Glenn Maxwell, 12.6 ov), 4-105 (Lorcan Tucker, 14.4 ov), 5-150 (Tim Tector, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 Younger bro gets the older one. Mark beats Ross in the end. The keeper comes well forward, and keeps his eyes on the ball, which drops into his gloves for a simple catch. Ross went to pull at this short delivery shaping into his hips, but mistimed his shot. The ball ended up ballooning for his wicket 26/19.6 welp. It's been a struggle all through and now its done. Smuts looks to hit across the line on a slow pitch. Humphreys holds the ball back. The batter is through with his sweep shot. The ball has a clear path. Maybe there's life in this game yet 79/217.4 chipped right back to Hoey! Soft dismissal. Hoey lobs it very full on middle, driven firmly in the air but straight back to the bowler. Sharp, chest-high catch for Hoey after he was initially taking some evasive action 139/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL151/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.08)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Ross Adair, 2.6 ov), 2-79 (JJ Smuts, 9.6 ov), 3-139 (Brandon McMullen, 17.4 ov)
